I still run my old models, many have been repainted but a few look like they came right off a table in 1994, but with bigger bases.Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-22140795923767400682022-11-17T13:22:38.597-06:002022-11-17T13:22:38.597-06:00It's worth getting on the Ramshackle mailing l...It's worth getting on the Ramshackle mailing list as Curtis comes out with some great deals. I got the bikes in a "20 for 30" deal he ran where you got 20 items for 30GBP, so the bikes were only 1.50GBP each.

I've considered more than once picking up a few... but just couldn't justify it to myself. <br /><br />The choppers are for sure ridiculous and impractical... but that's kind of what I love about them. I like the idea of rogue trader squats basically being biker gang thugs! timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-56992270846721930402022-11-16T11:41:07.562-06:002022-11-16T11:41:07.562-06:00Thanks guys! @tim, sorry to say I was never into t...Thanks guys! @tim, sorry to say I was never into the "choppers" in the original Squat range, I think they just look silly, and if you've ever ridden a chopper they are NOT suitable for off-road riding by any means. The trikes are equally goofy IMHO... I like the Ramshackle ones that are basically kettenrads with a cycle front wheel and tracks. But this is just personal preference and others may like 'em. In fact I ended up selling some Squat bike parts and the Chaos Squats in exo-armour, and some other bits, and the proceeds covered the entire original cost of the auction lot!Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816655312205569168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-47396389257126321582022-11-16T00:32:23.798-06:002022-11-16T00:32:23.798-06:00WOW!

Sounds a little like sour grapes to me... ;)<br /><br />I actually have a pile of the Ramshackle Games jet bikes, which are really fun. I went all in on that kickstarter. I put them together for a jet bike racing game I did at ToonCon in 2020. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-47696618761562061672022-11-15T15:18:09.376-06:002022-11-15T15:18:09.376-06:00Seeing a while load of squats together warns the c...Seeing a while load of squats together warns the cockles of my heart.

However, I don’t think it took long before a new project took root from that dark time. The squats look great and it’s probably a safe bet you wouldn’t have collected this many squats if it weren’t for that auction! I also agree that the bikes look much nicer than the choppers. Now you just need to find yourself a proper land train instead of that Godawful moon rover for the votan!MFraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782557928788801902noreply@blogger.com
